Rindi Nuzzolo, Carlo (Re)productive Traditions in Ancient Egypt - TOC <div><b><i>(Re)productive Traditions in Ancient Egypt </i><br></b></div><div><b>Proceedings of the conference held at the University of Liège, 6th-8th February 2013 </b><br></div><div><br></div><div>Tradition is central to Egyptology, and this volume discusses and problematises the concept by bringing together the most recent work on archaeological, art historical and philological material from the Predynastic to the Late Period. The eclectic mix of material in this volume takes us from New Kingdom artists in the Theban foothills to Old Kingdom Abusir, and from changing ideas about literary texts to the visual effects of archaising statuary. With themes of diachrony persisting at the centre, aspects of traditional approached from a variety of perspectives: as sets of conventions abstracted from the continuity of artefactual forms; as processes of knowledge (and practice) acquisition and transmission; and as relevant to the individuals and groups involved in artefact production. The volume is divided into four main sections, the first three of which attempt to reflect the different material foci of the contributions: text, art, and artefacts. The final section collects papers dealing with traditions which span different media. The concepts of cultural productivity and reproductivity are inspired by the field of text criticism and form common reference points for describing cultural change across contributions discussing disparate kinds of data. Briefly put, productive or open traditions are in a state of flux that stands in dialectic relation to shifting social and historical circumstances, while reproductive or closed traditions are frozen at a particular historical moment and their formulations are thereafter faithfully passed down verbatim. The scholars in this volume agree that a binary categorisation is restrictive, and that a continuum between the two poles of dynamic productivity and static reproductivity is by all means relevant to and useful for the description of various types of cultural production. This volume represents an interdisciplinary collaboration around a topic of perennial interest, a rarity in a field increasingly fractured by progressive specialisation. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Presented paper: <b>"Tradition and Transformation: Retracing Ptah-Sokar-Osiris figures from Akhmim in museums and private collections". </b><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><a href="https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8183-8483" target="_blank">ORCiD</a><br></div><div><a href="http://www.calipsoproject.net/" target="_blank">http://www.calipsoproject.net/</a><br></div></div><div><div><a href="http://www.egypto.ulg.ac.be/a4.htm" target="_blank">http://www.egypto.ulg.ac.be/a4.htm</a></div><div><a href="http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1054994575" target="_blank">WorldCat Record</a><br></div></div> Ptah-Sokar-Osiris;CALiPSO Project;Ancient Egypt;Egyptology;Egittologia;burial customs;burial furniture;funerary rituals;Egyptian religion;wooden figures;funerary practices;Akhmim;Upper Egypt;burials;excavations;Egyptian Collections;Museum Collections;hieroglyphics;rituals;Religious texts;Late Period;Ptolemaic Period;Graeco-Roman Period;archaeological finds;Museums and Galleries;Art market;antiquities;private collections 2019-06-10
